Totti and Bernardeschi among mourners at Davide Astori funeral

The funeral of the late Fiorentina captain Davide Astori was held in Florence on Thursday, with former team-mates Federico Bernardeschi and Francesco Totti among those in attendance.

Astori was found dead in his hotel room at the age of 31 on Sunday, hours before Fiorentina were scheduled to play away to Udinese.

Udine's public prosecutor has attributed the player's death to natural causes, with an autopsy indicating heart problems were to blame.
